![]() I got inspired to create this thread and the Little Bighorn one from an article I read in the current issue of Armchair General magazine about the failure of the United States to effectively adopt modern, breach loading and rapid fire weapons, and thus remain with rifle-muskets and the Napoleonic infantry tactics.Ī lot of that failure came down to one man: Brigadier General James Wolfe Ripley, chief of the US Army Ordinance Bureau. Here is the next what if/could it? thread and it is a sort of follow up to the previous one on the Battle of the Little Big Horn and Gatling Guns.
